Despite Jim Clark's fantastic practice lap, Jack Sears romped away in the Willment Galaxie and led from flag to flag. Clark and Olthoff were equally safe in second and third positions in their Lotus Cortinas, Lotus- and Willment-entered respectively.
Best scrap of the race - and this only lasted two or three laps - was the "Mini" dice in the 1300 cc class - although on this occasion it was anything but Mini, for the two Superspeed Anglias succeeded in frightening John Rhodes' Downton Mini Cooper S into third place. Although Chris Craft paved the way in the Anglia team, Mike Young won the class to team orders to get maximum points in the saloon car championship. The works Minis disappointed, Hopkirk's non-starting because of a broken fan-belt discovered on the warming up lap, and Fitzpatrick's coming in a distant fourth. The Broadspeed Minis, too, did not live up to their reputation, being even farther behind in sixth and seventh places, Timo Mäkinen in Don Moore's Mini separating them from Fitzpatrick.
